⚽ Talking about the Past vs. Now

In this story, we see two ways to describe things. One is for things happening now, and one is for things that already happened.

1. The "Right Now" (Present) We use this for facts or feelings today.

  • "Eight teams are left"
  • "Norway is also in the tournament"
  • "Egypt is unhappy"

2. The "Already Done" (Past) Notice how the word changes when the action is finished.

  • Beat \rightarrow Beat (Belgium beat the USA)
  • Talk \rightarrow Talked (He talked to Trump)
  • Help \rightarrow Helped (Trump helped a player)
  • Give \rightarrow Gave (FIFA gave a prize)

Quick Logic: If it is a fact \rightarrow use is/are. If it is a finished action \rightarrow add -ed (usually) or change the word.
